in your original email you talked about something like "full
compatibility with ms-office formats"
do you realise what you are asking ? afaik Microsoft has kept those
formats closed for years and years except for the rtf-format
therefore it was possible to create programs to be "fully compatible"
with rtf, e.g. the wordprocessor Ted is completely focused on rtf
i only see certain answers to your question at the moment, and that is
to use MS-office with wine, you can install winetools, use a "supported
by winetools" wine-version, and then install MS-office
crossover-office is also an idea, but they ask you to pay for it

the internet is full of hate-pages already, i don't really see the need
for space on the wiki for your idea, but feel free to post it elsewhere
though
